Class name: CNC Machinist Training

Requirements: English and Math assessment at WorkKeys level 4

Audience: Candidates for entry level positions in manufacturing CNC operations

Entry Wage: $11-15/hr     1 Year Wage: $13-17/hr

Description: For qualified candidates, this intensive job-training program provides an entry opportunity in the field of CNC manufacturing for both commercial and aerospace machining. CNC Machinists use machine tools, such as lathes, milling machines, and grinders, to produce precision metal parts. Some machinists, often called production machinists, may produce large quantities of one part, especially parts requiring the use of complex operations and great precision. Many modern machine tools are computer numerically controlled (CNC). CNC machines, following a computer program, control the cutting tool speed, change tool for specific operations, and perform all necessary cuts to create a part. Frequently, machinists work with numerical control programmers to determine how the automated equipment will cut a part.

Class format: Mon – Friday, 7:30am – 4:30pm (1 hour lunch) ~8 weeks - 280 hours total

Cost: $3300; may be waived based on applicant eligibility
